title: [The characteristics of the myocardial morphofunctional status of hypothyroidism patients].
abstract: Electro- and echocardiography were used to examine the morphofunctional state of the heart in 19 patients with hypothyrosis during disease decompensation and after therapy with thyroid hormones. The hormonal blood content was measured by RIA. Nonspecific alterations of the electro- and echocardiographic readings characterizing hypothyroid myocardiodystrophy were discovered. Almost half of the cases manifested hydropericardium. The discovered myocardial alterations were marked by a slow positive dynamics. In patients over 45 years, they appeared irreversible in nature. The pericardial exudate resolved shortly after the euthyroid status was attained.
